it's no where near as bad as chernobyl - get over it

Hey OP, I heard living has a 100% fatality rate. Obviously unsafe. You might want to stop doing it.

safe reactors can be built, its just that people chose not to build them

Usual scientific obese neckbeards blindly defending a power system that is ridiculously dangerous. Pathetic.

FUUUUUUUUU

>>41 hundred million decays/second

over an area the size of a football field, that's fuck all

and we are talking about an area over 10000 times that

>>3053451
Acceleration is in m/s/s, or m/s^(-2)
Why the fuck not bq/s/s?

fucking nukes

>41 hundred million bq in 7 hours
yeah, that's a bout a one meter cube of average rock
seriously

Stay classy /sci/.

I read somewhere that in deaths per unit of energy or something like that, nuclear is the safest- far more than burning fossil fuels etc.

Yeah, lets live off fancy windmills and solar panels occuping large surfaces

The roman used lead pipes.
Lead is dangerous.
Therefore, we should not use pipes.

yes, I live in tokyo and the radiation is killing everyone
I even found a site that shows the radiation in tokyo
http://mextrad.blob.core.windows.net/page/13_Tokyo_en.html
It's so low that it's even lower than average

xkcd dot com slash radiation

We recieve more radiation from the stars in the universe than we do from all of our nuclear power. You still cannot survive more than 4 or 8 sieverts at once. Accidents happen, but there are less deaths due to nuclear power than to coal mining or drilling for oil on a per unit time basis.

Suck it.

We should faze out our current reactors in favour of these.

lalalalala ow hey thorium

Stop talking sense. Don't you know that this is a troll thread?

Yaaaaaaay rolling out the Thorium parade

>Throllium?

Now, if only you didn't need to have on-site reprocessing facilities and deal with a 20 year gap for licensing arguments to be resolved,, this would be a solid answer to our forthcoming energy crisis.

China, Brazil and India won't have the same qualms. Be assured.
